Acquired by Genesys in December 2021!

In December 2021, Pointillist was acquired by Genesys, the leader in customer experience orchestration. The Pointillist team became a high growth business unit within Genesys' Cloud division, accelerating Genesys' explosive growth.

As VP of HR for Pointillist, led all aspects of pre-merger HR due diligence, communications, compensation and retention planning and more. Post acquisition, as VP of HR, we doubled the 'Pointillist by Genesys' BU in the first 6 months and kept 1 year post-acquisition turnover to 0% through a time of high change for our team.
